I am not clear on the difference between the amendment the Senator is offering now and the one that was overwhelmingly passed in the Senate the other day. That was carried--a 1-cent increase in the 32-cent stamp, with the extra penny going to breast cancer research. This one, as I understand it--does this amendment take part of the 32 cents or does it also carry an increase in the 32 cents?
Questioning the differences between two amendments related to postal rates and funding for breast cancer research.
